friday stuff
Sep. 12th, 2008 11:49 ami: oo my adam curtis piece for FQ is available as a dl pdf here (you have to scroll down -- it's called "ghost law") --- anyway the editor sez this issue of FQ is tremendous, so sign up (i haven't seen it yet)
ii: i am listening to a box set of carl nielson's symphonies on vinyl -- he is danish (like the pastry)
iii: need to get my dad's house insurance sorted -- it has not been insured for months by a weird glitch (failed to get "approval" bcz he lives in a "flood area" -- actually the top of quite a high hill -- and they didn't let me know... ): basically i need to find an insurer who does good cover for drains issues, then immediately claim for the drains, which the the kind of artful dodgy manoeuvre i am bad at
iv: nearly finished my taxes -- wow do i need to start earning more and doing less for free :(
v: contemplating a broad response piece to the "what's a critic for" anniversary issue of s&s -- it would pick up on some of the themes of "dalek made of light"
vi: i have nearly finished "politics of friendship" -- and everywhere i look (inc. in one of the curtis docs, tho i didn't have time to explore it), carl schmitt is the name being dropped (curtis in fact elides him, hints at the issues not their source): the sovereign as decider; alternatives to universal sufferage; blah blah... i won't say more on this soon, bcz i doubt it WILL be soon
